Hyundai expanded its dedicated EV lineup on June 28 by unveiling the Ioniq 6, a sedan to accompany the Ioniq 5 SUV/CUV.
The press release features plenty of buzzwords like “Emotional Efficiency” and “Ethical Uniqueness,” though there are a few key takeaways:
The Ioniq 6 features a drag coefficient of just 0.21, the lowest of any Hyundai and, according to Wikipedia, lower than the Tesla Model S (0.24) and Model 3 (0.23). This is achieved thanks to its streamlined shape plus aerodynamic helpers like active air flaps, slim digital side mirrors and a fully covered underside.
Inside, the Hyundai gets a real steering wheel (sorry, yoke lovers), as well as a 12-inch full-touch infotainment display and 12-inch digital cluster. The interior is also comprised of a number of eco-friendly materials:
IONIQ 6’s interior is also trimmed in sustainable materials and colors. Depending on the trim level, these include eco-process leather (seats), recycled PET fabric (seats), bio TPO skin (dashboard), bio PET fabric (headliner), bio paint derived from vegetable oils (doors), and recycled fishing net carpet — the latter is a first for the IONIQ brand.
No power numbers have yet been released, though we’ll know more at the car’s global debut in July.
Lol. They going for that cyberpunk theme?

It's a bit Blade Runner.
Just a reminder, this is what the concept, the Prophecy EV, looked like:
Hyundai gets a check in my book for making a car that actually looks like the concept
In reply to Colin Wood :
Yup. You can say it looks boring, yet I'm attracted to it.
The electric Hyundais are a pretty interesting bunch for sure.
I've seen a few Ioniq5's in the wild, and I have to admit they look pretty good in person. Not surprising that I'm strangely drawn to this concept as well.
In reply to golfduke :
I'm pleasantly surprised to see how many of the Ioniq 5s and even the Kia EV6s I've seen in my area. They both look a little bigger in person than I was expecting, but I'm not complaining.
Yeah, if the Ioniq5 was the size of the original Integrale it would be a pretty compelling package. But that's what people want, so I get it.
In reply to Colin Wood :
I'm still seeing mostly Teslas in my neighborhood. Maybe soon we'll get some Hyundais.
